I wrote nothing today…

(Note Before: I wrote this on the 7th before my laptop crashed).

Hello,

I wrote nothing today.

I knew there would be days I would write nothing, but I didn’t think it would happen on the second day — haha. Maybe on the 6th or 7th day.

For me, I wasn’t thinking much about ‘finding the right story.’ I wanted “Bami” to be a character of her own and for events to unfold as they came. But nothing interesting caught Bami’s attention today — and that’s fine.

There would be more of this; Days where I simply don’t write because there was nothing to write about. And honestly, maybe I even encourage it. 🙃

I did not create this exercise to wear you out. So, don’t beat yourself up if you don’t come up with something interesting or write the “it” story.

I’m still learning what this exercise is all about myself. Aside from the obvious things like “imagery” and “description,” yesterday, I learnt it was also about “making stories out of nothing” — well, in this case, making stories out of our emotions, thoughts, senses, experiences and more.

So, tell me… What is this exercise for you?

End +

P.S. I would love to read the awesome story(ies) you have written — I say that with enthusiasm! You can send them to me in the Deehemz [DMs] (I would so regret that spelling weeks from now).

With the ban of Twitter and my laptop’s operating system exposing its incapacity, I’ve been a little wary about this and how to proceed with it. But one thing I do know is… ‘we’re going to finish what we started!’ And I would definitely keep you posted concerning this exercise.

Again. Thank you for being exceptional! Take care of “you,” and I’ll be praying for you — always.
